1. The Los Angeles Times ran an article last weekend titled, "Trump crackdown focuses on people in the U.S. illegally -- but not on the businesses that hire them."
Though the LA Times article squanders much of its energy criticizing Pres. Trump, it does make the wonderful point that the government needs to crack down on crooked employers to make a real dent in the hiring of illegal aliens. No wall or deportation effort will work without eliminating the jobs magnet, the article correctly notes.

Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) introduced a bill yesterday that would suspend the refugee resettlement program in the United States until the economic effects and national security concerns can be satisfied. The Resettlement Accountability National Security Act (H.R. 3314) would put an immediate suspension on allowing immigrants into the United States under the refugee resettlement program, until the Government Accountability Office (GAO) completes a thorough examination of its costs on federal, state and local governments.

The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO) issued a statement today on how sanctuary cities undermine the rule of law and the need for passage of H.R.1148, The Davis Oliver Act, which would "provide the tools that American Law Enforcement Officers need to reclaim and secure our nation's streets and communities." The bill would end the mass release of criminal aliens, allow local law enforcement to assist in the enforcement of federal laws, and help ensure the just, consistent and uniform application of federal law.

In the wake of the shooting of Kate Steinle by a criminal alien who had been deported 5 times, a new poll shows that American voters want to clamp down on so-called "sanctuary cities" that refuse to enforce immigration laws. The accused, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, said in an interview that he came back to San Francisco because he knew it to be a sanctuary city where he would not be pursued by immigration officials.

An internal document that the Obama Administration sent to congressional appropriators last spring on the expected surge of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) has been made public with startling new information. In it, the Obama administration predicted a large number of UACs to arrive last summer and record numbers for summers to come. The document counters claims that top federal officials did not anticipate the surge last summer.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
